Universal DPS Build Question U50

I maintain 20 characters, one of every class for every role (for race optimization reasons), with Warden doubling healer and DPS due to the cap. I am looking for a single universal DPS build that I can run on all of them for solo content. This includes Infinite Archive, events, quests, arenas and general overworld tasks.

Running tanks or healers solo feels miserable, and pure parse builds do not function well without group support in harder content like IA arc 3+. I want something consistent across all classes that still performs well.

I also have access to everything in the game, so there are no gear, mythic or skill restrictions.
I would prefer to avoid Werewolf since leveling that on twenty characters would be a chore but not out of the question.

What would you recommend for a universal, class agnostic solo DPS setup that works across all twenty characters?

    Sul-xan + macabre + pale order, I guess? Poked around on some Hyperioxes solo builds and it seems that on the ones I looked at, it’s sul-xan + tzog or whorl + tzog. Reason I say macabre is because personally I didn’t have any AoE damage on my sorc, so macabre helped me kill packs in overland.

    Tide-Born still gives 15% more direct damage against mobs and is craftable, so that's potentially an option.

    Deadly Strike is solid, 15% damage increase on DoTs and channels (including HA for things like Lightning Staff). It's a PvP Set but it can be purchased.

    WW actually levels incredibly quickly in terms of getting to Rank 10. If you pop an Exp Scroll and put your difficulty to Seasoned, you can run some Dolmens and get a fresh WW to Rank 10 in about an hour or so (probably, when I leveled it on my alt account I didn't do this method, I was running around Spell Scar mostly and also did a few Random Dungeons and it took like 2 or so hours iirc).
